Earlier this week Tilly received an invitation to a party at Heather and Brad's. It was a housewarming/BBQ, they've recently moved into rented accommodation in Stafford.
Their house is amazing, a very large family home in a beautiful area of Stafford, very posh. The house is big and the garden is justgoing to be great for little Max when he starts to crawl.
We arrived slightly early as I tried to time Tilly's sleep with the car journey. Max has changed a lot since the last time we saw him, his head was held up high and he looks cute, there is no excess chub on him at all (unlike Tilly) he has a slight face with an almost pointy chin. He already looks like a little boy, he looks just like Brad. Tilly stared at him and then reached out and held his hand. It was so lovely, Max looked a little surprised and we all cooed at the sight.
People arrived, the 'barbie' was started, the chicken was burnt and the wine and tea flowed. Heather had invited all her new neighbours, they were so lovely - really lovely. We did a similar thing when we lived in Ryder Row; invited all our neighbours for a BBQ the first summer we were there so we got to know them a little better. We haven't done it in this house, maybe we should have - is it too late to do it now?
Matilda was one of many babies there and was well behaved considering she hardly had any sleep, thankfully she did manage to sleep in the pram in the garden amongst the guests.
I've had a really lovely day. Lots of laughs, good (adult) company, good food and I even drank 2 glasses of wine - I can now she is on bottles. They were all so lovely, so refreshing to be in the company of like minded people, something I realise I've just not found in Coventry yet.
